Secret Secret Dino Club is Good Clean Fun


Today is a first: I am going to review an indie HIP HOP pop band. Exciting, right? I think it is because I love when unlikely genres are blended together. Secret Secret Dino Club, a three -piece band from New York, produces quirky lyrics, catchy rhythms and delicious hooks to hypnotize their listeners into a bubblegum pop trance.

"Upside Down (Spin Me All Around)" is an adorable duet about a lovey-dovey relationship. I am usually a cynic for such songs, but I could not turn this one off. "I love you so much with all my bones" tugged at my heartstrings. The electronica style instrumental parts are the perfect backdrop for the dialogue between boy and girl. The rhymes in this song are genius. This song is too cute from start to finish.


"Look at Me Now!" is a triumphant love anthem celebrating finally establishing a relationship and being proud of finally getting a great catch. This song made me realize I appreciate Secret Secret Dino Club's lyrics the most out of their music's characteristics. Everything rhymes just right, and they always tell a story. I like when music is a narrative so Dino Club definitely has me in the palm of their hand.

"Ain't Falling in Love" is a slow, cynical song with stellar guitar parts. This song definitely has more of a hip hop feel than their other music, and it works. The beat is very easy to follow, making it easy to keep up with everything going on in the song. This song is just good clean fun.

Secret Secret Dino Club is the perfect band for fans of Hellogoodbye, The Rocket Summer and The Friday Night Boys. Here's a lyric video for "Upside Down (Spin Me All Around)." What do you think of this band? Comment and let me know what you think!


Thank you for reading. Shuffle on.
